Natasha Smith

I am currently welcoming enquiries from new clients seeking individual, couples or relationship counselling.

At Totally Unique Counselling & Coaching, I understand that taking the first step towards counselling can feel daunting. I aim to provide a warm, confidential, non-judgemental and supportive space where you can feel heard, valued and understood.

I offer flexible online and face-to-face counselling sessions, with daytime and evening appointments available by arrangement. Walk-and-talk sessions may also be available upon request.

Whether you are experiencing emotional difficulties, relationship challenges, life transitions or simply seeking greater self-awareness and personal growth, I welcome the opportunity to explore how we might work together.

Please feel free to contact me to discuss availability or arrange an initial consultation. I aim to respond to all enquiries within 48 hours.

I look forward to supporting you on your journey towards positive change.

I believe that everyone deserves to feel heard, understood and valued, regardless of their background, experiences or circumstances.

As a qualified therapeutic counsellor and founder of Totally Unique Counselling & Coaching, I offer a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences at your own pace.

My core approach is Person-Centred Therapy, which means I place you at the heart of our work together. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and my role is not to tell you what to do, but to walk alongside you as you develop greater self-awareness, confidence and understanding.

I also draw upon solution-focused techniques and relationship-focused approaches where appropriate, tailoring our sessions to your individual needs and goals.

I support individuals and couples navigating relationship difficulties, communication challenges, low self-esteem, emotional distress, life transitions and personal growth. 

I recognise that our past experiences can influence how we see ourselves, relate to others and respond to life's challenges.

My practice is inclusive and culturally sensitive, welcoming people from all backgrounds, beliefs and walks of life. For clients who wish to explore their faith or spirituality as part of their therapeutic journey, I offer a respectful, faith-sensitive approach without imposing personal beliefs.

I offer online and face-to-face counselling, providing a confidential and supportive environment where you can speak openly without fear of judgement.

Above all, I believe therapy is a collaborative journey. Together, we can explore what matters to you, recognise your strengths and work towards meaningful, lasting change.

"You are unique, your experiences matter, and your voice deserves to be heard".

Taking the first step towards counselling can feel overwhelming, particularly when you are unsure where to begin. My aim is to make that first step feel as comfortable, welcoming and reassuring as possible.

At Totally Unique Counselling & Coaching, I provide a safe, confidential, compassionate and non-judgemental environment where you can explore your experiences, emotions and concerns without pressure or fear of criticism.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Our work begins with an initial conversation to explore what has brought you to counselling, what you hope to gain and whether we feel comfortable working together.

During our first session, we will discuss confidentiality, boundaries, your needs and how we can work collaboratively. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and share as much or as little as you feel comfortable with.

Sessions are guided by your individual needs and circumstances. I work at your pace, offering empathy, understanding and gentle exploration to support greater self-awareness, emotional wellbeing and personal growth without judgement.

HOW I WORK 

I offer individual, couples, families and relationship counselling, supporting clients with emotional difficulties, relationship challenges, communication, self-esteem, life transitions and personal development.

My practice is Person-Centred Therapy, incorporating solution-focused and relationship-focused techniques where appropriate.

SESSION OPTIONS

I offer online and face-to-face appointments, with flexible daytime and evening availability by arrangement. Walk-and-talk counselling may also be available upon request.

My practice welcomes adults from diverse cultural backgrounds, beliefs and life experiences, including those wishing to explore faith or spirituality within therapy.

"At Totally Unique Counselling & Coaching, you are not simply another client. You are a unique individual whose story, experiences and wellbeing matter".

Starting counselling can feel daunting, so my aim is to make your first experience welcoming, comfortable and supportive.

I offer a 20-minute introductory consultation to briefly discuss your concerns, expectations and whether working together feels right for you.

During our first full session, we will explore what has brought you to counselling, your goals and any relevant background information. I may ask some gentle assessment questions to better understand your needs.

We will also discuss confidentiality, boundaries, fees and our counselling agreement.

For couples, both partners will have an opportunity to share their perspectives and explore their relationship goals.

There is no pressure to share everything at once. We will work at your pace, creating a safe, respectful and non-judgemental space.

"Your journey is unique, and every positive change begins with a first step".
